So, PLOW played a gig Saturday evening at one of our favorite local bars. It had been a beautiful day, a little warm, but still a beautiful Pennsylvania summer day, and the evening 
promised to be nice as well, cooling off, clear, no rain....just a nice evening! We got to the bar about an hour and a half before show time, and started unloading all the gear. We were all set up within an hour, giving us time for a sound check, and time to chat with the bartenders/waitresses for a while before we started the first set.
What struck me, as I was walking to the bar to get the first of many diet Cokes for the evening, was that there wasn't really much of a crowd. We're not Rush or anything, but we get a decent turnout, and the place was pretty empty. A few familiar faces, a few new friends, but nothing you would call a "crowd".
It was like that pretty much all evening...some folks came, some went, some stayed all night, some had a drink and left, but we pretty much played to a half empty floor all night.
After we finished our third set, I took some time to talk to the bar manager, and was expressing my concern foabout the lack of a crowd, and her comment was "it's July, don't worry about it. It's always slow in July". I took some solace in that, but I wonder....was it like that everywhere?
PLOW has another show in August....I hope the crowds are back by then!!!!!
